Finals day at the Canterbury Match Play! 🏆
The semi-finals this morning served up yet another dose of match play drama! Matches in both the U19 and Women’s semi-finals were decided in extra holes, while plenty of other matches went right down to the wire on the 18th green. The standard and fight on display this weekend has been outstanding.
Congratulations to all our semi-finalists on a fantastic weekend of golf, and well done to those who’ve earned their spot in this afternoon’s finals. 👏

🏆 Quarter-final action at the Canterbury Match Play! 🏆
The quarter-finals didn’t disappoint! After the drama of this morning’s Round of 16, the final eight in each grade served up another round of quality golf and hard-fought contests, with a few big upsets along the way.
Take a bow, Alfie Bell! 👏 After grinding out a marathon 26 holes this morning, Alfie dug deep again this afternoon to take down two-time defending champion Sam McGill 1 up. An outstanding effort and a huge scalp!
There’s plenty for the home crowd to cheer about too, with Avondale’s own Etienne Collier knocking out top seed and fellow Avondale member Nash de Klerk 2 up in an all-Avondale quarter-final. 🙌
There were upsets in the Women’s draw too, with Nutcha Sirawattanakul and Maddie May knocking out the top two seeds to book their places in the semi-finals. 🔥

Semi-finals tee off from 8:00am tomorrow, with the finals from 1:00pm. Titles are on the line, so come on down and catch the action!

🔥 Round of 16 drama at the Canterbury Match Play! 🔥
What a morning of match play! The Round of 16 delivered everything we hoped for and more, with three matches going beyond the 18th and into extra holes.
And then there was the Men’s Championship clash between Alfie Bell and Harry MacNeill… 😮 Neither player would give an inch, with the match going an incredible EIGHT play-off holes before Alfie finally sealed the win on the 26th. An epic contest and a true test of nerve. Hats off to both players for an unforgettable battle!
Congratulations to all players progressing to the quarter-finals, and well played to those who bowed out after a great effort.
The field is now down to the final eight, and the quarter-finals are underway! Follow all the action live 👇
